Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust
The Clinical Review Team reviews patients with Section 117 aftercare packages on behalf of the ICB. The team will review patients with learning disabilities, mental health issues, and acquired brain injuries, so all levels of registrations are welcome.
The aim of the review is to ensure the funded package of care meets the needs of the patient, is safe, and ensures financial efficiency.
This work covers all parts of the patient journey from the transition from hospital into the community, where the patient will live with a funded package of care in the least restrictive environment.
The role will require the presentation of cases to the Quality Assurance Funding panel.
Main duties of the job
The Clinical Review Practitioner will hold a caseload of patients with Section 117 aftercare needs who are in funded packages of care.
The review will be in collaboration with the provider, the patient, and members of the MDT. The review will ensure the placement is financially efficient, the patient is safe, and is living in the least restrictive environment. The review will also ensure the patient has the right legal framework in place to support their care delivery. The role will also include leading on applying to court for application and renewal of DOLS.
Work alongside colleagues from contracting, performance, and information to achieve the commissioner targets. Communicate in a way that recognizes differences and ensures that people feel included and their individual communication needs are met.
This will involve completion of the Reviewing document and potentially other clinical tools, for example, from the risk management or safeguarding toolkits.
Part of this would include presenting at the Quality Assurance panel to seek permission for funding for new placements, which would be achieved by completing the Joint Health Assessment and Social Care (JHAS).
